The problem is review. With e-mail I can just hit reply and comment on your
patch. Did your try the SMTP interface to gmail? I think e-mailing inlined patches is
a nearly perfect. Inline-attachment is ok with me. That makes it possible to
comment on them like any email in my mail program.

Often, after a long session, you end up with a "mess" of commits, many which
don't make sense to anyone but you. For this you use rebase -i to clean up.
It allows you to reorder, squash and edit commits. You'll end up with an entirely
new version of your branch. Retest to make sure it's ok and submit.
